VITAL SIGNS INDICATOR
Rent Payments (EC8)

FULL MEASURE NAME
Median rent payment

LAST UPDATED
January 2023

DESCRIPTION
Rent payments refer to the cost of leasing an apartment or home and serves as a measure of housing costs for individuals who do not own a home. The data reflect the median monthly rent paid by Bay Area households across apartments and homes of various sizes and various levels of quality. This differs from advertised rents for available apartments, which usually are higher. Note that rent can be presented using nominal or real (inflation-adjusted) dollar values; data are presented inflation-adjusted to reflect changes in household purchasing power over time.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator)
Rent data reflects median rent payments rather than list rents (refer to measure definition above). American Community Survey 1-year data is used for larger geographies – Bay counties and most metropolitan area counties – while smaller geographies rely upon 5-year rolling average data due to their smaller sample sizes. Note that 2020 data uses the 5-year estimates because the ACS did not collect 1-year data for 2020.

1970 Census data for median rent payments has been imputed from quintiles using methodology from California Department of Finance as the source data only provided the mean, rather than the median, monthly rent. Metro area boundaries reflects today’s metro area definitions by county for consistency, rather than historical metro area boundaries.

Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how rent payments have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of CPI itself.

Commercial rents services price index (CRSPI) by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Monthly data are available from January 2006 for the total index and from January 2019 for all other indexes. The table presents data for the most recent reference period and the last five periods. The base period for the index is (2019=100).

The Consumer price index (CPI) all households, calculated by Statistics Netherlands, measures the average price changes of goods and services purchased by households. The index is an important criterion for inflation, frequently used by trade and industry, employers' organisations, trade unions and government. The index is for instance, used to make adjustments to wages, tax tablesand index-linked rent increases, annuities, etc.

Data available from: January 1996 till December 2015

Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final.

Changes as of 18 May 2016: None, this table is stopped.

Changes from 7 January 2016: New figures added.

Changes from 10 December 2015: On 1 October 2015, the points system for the pricing of rental homes was adjusted by the Dutch national government. As a direct consequence, rental prices of a limited number of dwellings were reduced, which had a downward effect on the average rental price. The effect of this decrease on the rental price indices and imputed rent value could not be determined in time because housing associations announced the impact of rent adjustments only in November. For this reason, the figures of the groups 04100 ‘Actual rentals for housing’ and 04200 ‘Imputed rent value’ over October 2015 have now been adjusted.

The figures of the groups 061100 ‘Pharmaceutical products’, 061200 ‘Other medical products, equipment’, 072200 ‘Fuels and lubricants’ and 083000 ‘Telephone and internet services’ over the months June through September 2015 have been corrected. This has no impact on the headline indices.

The derived CPI decreased by 0.01 index point over August 2015.

When will new figures be published? Not applicable. This table is succeeded by Consumer prices; price index 2015=100. See paragraph 3.

In accordance with Rules and Regulations Section 1.12 (https://www.sf.gov/reports--rent-board-rules-and-regulations), the Rent Board sets the annual allowable rent increase for rent controlled units. The new rates are effective every year on March 1. The amount is based on 60% of the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose region for the 12-month period ending October 31, as posted in November by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

VITAL SIGNS INDICATOR List Rents (EC9)

FULL MEASURE NAME List Rents

LAST UPDATED October 2016

DESCRIPTION List rent refers to the advertised rents for available rental housing and serves as a measure of housing costs for new households moving into a neighborhood, city, county or region.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator) List rents data reflects median rent prices advertised for available apartments rather than median rent payments; more information is available in the indicator definition above. Regional and local geographies rely on data collected by real Answers, a research organization and database publisher specializing in the multifamily housing market. real Answers focuses on collecting longitudinal data for individual rental properties through quarterly surveys. For the Bay Area, their database is comprised of properties with 40 to 3,000+ housing units. Median list prices most likely have an upward bias due to the exclusion of smaller properties. The bias may be most extreme in geographies where large rental properties represent a small portion of the overall rental market. A map of the individual properties surveyed is included in the Local Focus section.

Individual properties surveyed provided lower- and upper-bound ranges for the various types of housing available (studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, etc.). Median lower- and upper-bound prices are determined across all housing types for the regional and county geographies. The median list price represented in Vital Signs is the average of the median lower- and upper-bound prices for the region and counties. Median upper-bound prices are determined across all housing types for the city geographies. The median list price represented in Vital Signs is the median upper-bound price for cities. For simplicity, only the mean list rent is displayed for the individual properties. The metro areas geography rely upon Zillow data, which is the median price for rentals listed through www.zillow.com during the month. Like the real Answers data, Zillow's median list prices most likely have an upward bias since small properties are underrepresented in Zillow's listings. The metro area data for the Bay Area cannot be compared to the regional Bay Area data. Due to afore mentioned data limitations, this data is suitable for analyzing the change in list rents over time but not necessarily comparisons of absolute list rents. Metro area boundaries reflects today’s metro area definitions by county for consistency, rather than historical metro area boundaries.

Due to the limited number of rental properties surveyed, city-level data is unavailable for Atherton, Belvedere, Brisbane, Calistoga, Clayton, Cloverdale, Cotati, Fairfax, Half Moon Bay, Healdsburg, Hillsborough, Los Altos Hills, Monte Sereno, Moranga, Oakley, Orinda, Portola Valley, Rio Vista, Ross, San Anselmo, San Carlos, Saratoga, Sebastopol, Windsor, Woodside, and Yountville.

Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how rents have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of CPI itself. Percent change in inflation-adjusted median is calculated with respect to the median price from the fourth quarter or December of the base year.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure of change, over time, of the prices of goods and services in major expenditure groups--such as food, housing, apparel, transportation, and medical care--typically purchased by urban consumers. Essentially, it compares the cost of a sample "market basket" of goods and services in a specific month relative to the cost of the same "market basket" in an earlier reference period. This reference period is designated as the base period.

The CPI publishes indexes for two populations; all urban consumers (CU) and urban wage earners and clerical workers (CW).

To construct the two indexes, thousands of prices for commodities and services purchased by consumers are collected in a sample of 75 urban places. Rent data is collected in a separate sample of thousands of rental units. Comparison of indexes for individual CMSA's or cities show only the relative change over time in prices between locations. These indexes cannot be used to measure interarea differences in price levels or living costs.

Summary Data Available: U.S. average indexes for both populations are available for several hundred consumer items and groups of items. In addition, many of the indexes have been adjusted for seasonality. The indexes are monthly. Different indexes go back to different years, with the earliest, including all items, dating to 1913. Semi-annual indexes have been calculated for many items for comparison with semi-annual areas mentioned below. Semi-annual indexes are available from 1984 forward.

Area indexes for both populations are available for 23 urban places. For each area, indexes are published for a subset of items and groups. The indexes are published monthly for three areas and bimonthly for twenty areas. Regional and division level indexes for both populations are available for a subset of items and groups published. Indexes are published for four regions and nine divisions. Regional indexes date to 1966; divisional indexes are newer, dating to 2018. Indexes are monthly, with Semi-annual indexes also calculated for selected items.

City-size class indexes for both populations are available for two size classes with a similar subset of groups and items. Region/city-size indexes (for example, Midwest size class B/C)for both populations are also available monthly.

Frequency of Observations: U.S. city average indexes, regional indexes, division indexes, size class indexes, and three metro area indexes are monthly. 20 metro area indexes are bimonthly.

Annual Averages: Annual averages are available for all unadjusted series in the CW and CU.

Base Periods: Most indexes have a base period of 1982-1984 = 100. Other indexes, mainly newer indexes, are based more recently. The base period value is generally 100.0, with rare exceptions where the base is set to 1000 to avoid loss of precision. The index for the "Purchasing Power" values (AAOR and SAOR) have a base period value of 1.000.

Data Characteristics: Indexes are published to three decimal places.

Updating Schedule: Updates become available with the release of new data, typically between the 10th and 14th of the month following the reference month.

CPI - Services Excluding Rent - Historical chart and current data through 2025.

This table contains the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This index shows the price evolution of a package of goods and services that an average household in the Netherlands buys. The table also shows the derived consumer price index. This is the CPI exclusive influence of government measures such as VAT.

In addition to these indices, the table contains inflation. Inflation as an economic concept is the average price increase of the goods and services consumers buy. Inflation in the Netherlands is measured as the increase in the consumer price index (CPI) compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The consumer price index shows the price evolution of a package of goods and services as purchased on average by Dutch households. The monthly-on-month development is also shown in the table. You can view these figures about 269 combinations of product groups. For each product group you can also find how much the Dutch consumer spends on it in relation to his total expenditure. This is called the weighting coefficient.

Data available from 1996 to 2015

Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final.

Changes as of 18 May 2016 None, this table has been discontinued.

Changes as of 10 December 2015 As of 1 October, the national government has adjusted the points system for housing rentals. As a result, the rents of a limited number of homes have fallen, so the average rents also decreased. The effect of this rent decrease on the price indices of rent and imputed rent could not be determined earlier, as the housing corporations only announced the extent of the rent adjustments in November. The figures of the groups 04100 ‘Employable rent’ and 04200 ‘Accounted rental own home’ of October 2015 have therefore been adjusted.

The figures for the groups 061100 ‘Self-care medicines, 061200 ‘Other medical products’, 072200 ‘Autofuels’ and 083000 ‘Phone, fax and internet services’ have been updated from June to September 2015. This does not affect the published indices at main level.

The derived CPI has been revised down 0.01 index point over the month of August 2015.

When are new figures coming? This table is followed by consumer prices; price index 2015=100. See paragraph 3.
